We introduce…

Following our vision to further establish the innovative particularly gentle minimally invasive treat-
ment methods in medicine and make them accessible to wide circles, we want to introduce to
you in this first vascular professional issue a physician and the medical center he or she is working
in as – “Medical Center of Excellence”.

A lot of physicians have been working for many years – partly for more than 20 years – in the field of
vascular surgery and phlebology and are pioneers in these fields. In times where the minimally inva-
sive therapy methods in these medical fields were at their beginnings, a lot of doctors weren’t afraid
to enter new grounds to discover innovative methods for the well-being of their patients. Partly, it

led to own medical centers and hospitals which the doctors themselves have founded.

Over the last years, material and tools improved and many doctors have gained valuable insights and
have started to refine the methods. Together with their profound experiences, important aspects

of the therapies were developed further and have widened the goals originally aimed for. Through
this, physicians all over the world play an important role in research and development, and the clo-
se contact to the developing and producing industry leads to excellent system solutions in medical
technology.

We would like to make our own small contribution to offer a platform – next to the many other inter-
national platforms already in existence – for physicians to be introduced and to present themselves
with new, future-oriented, and innovative approaches.

Thus, we are glad to present to you in this first issue of 2022 our „Doctor of the Year“ – so to say –

Dr. Petar Dragić, founder of the Clinics “Dr Dragić” in Belgrade, Novi Sad and Banja Luka, Serbia. He
developed the new high-level technique UGLA (Ultrasound Guided Laser Ablation) for EndoVenous
Laser Ablation (EVLA) with the special approach considering not only the diameter of the vein but
also the thickness of the vein wall.
